On difference sets with small $$\lambda $$ λ

Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics - In a 1989 paper, Arasu (Arch Math 53:622–624, 1989) used an observation about multipliers to show that no (352, 27, 2) difference set...     

On symmetric ��-configurations with small ��

In this paper, we focus on the existence of symmetric λ-configurations with λ = 2, 3, and 4. Three new spatial configurations (v ₈)₂ for v = 30, 31, and 32 are constructed. The existence of a spatial configuration (v _k )₂ are updated for k ⩽ 10. The existence tables for symmetric λ-configurations for λ = 3, 4, and small k are also given.     

Large sets of pure directed triple systems with index λ

A directed triple system of order v with index λ, briefly by DTS（v,λ）, is a pair （X, B） where X is a v-set and B is a collection of transitive triples （blocks） on X such that every ordered pair of X belongs to λ blocks of B. A simple DTS（v, λ） is a DTS（v, λ） without repeated blocks. A simple DTS（v, ）,） is called pure and denoted by PDTS（v, λ） if （x, y, z） ∈ B implies （z, y, x）, （z, x, y）, （y, x, z）, （y, z, x）, （x, z, y） B. A large set of disjoint PDTS（v, λ）, denoted by LPDTS（v, λ）, is a collection of 3（v - 2）/λ disjoint pure directed triple systems on X. In this paper, some results about the existence for LPDTS（v, λ） are presented. Especially, we determine the spectrum of LPDTS（v, 2）.     

On Ω-closed sets and Ωs-closed sets in topological spaces

Summary New classes of sets called -closed sets and s-closed sets are introduced and studied. Also, we introduce and study -continuous functions and s-continuous functions and prove pasting lemma for these functions. Moreover, we introduce classes of topological spaces -T_1/2 and -T_s.     

On Jackson's product form with ‘jump-over’ blocking

It is shown that Jackson's product form is retained for queueing networks with capacity constraints under the assumption of a ‘jump-over’ blocking protocol.     

On λ-harmonic graphs

A λ harmonic graph G, a λ-Hgraph G for short, means that there exists a constant denotes the degree of vertex vi. In this paper, some harmonic properties of the complement and line graph are given, and some algebraic properties for the λ-Hgraphs are obtained.     

On λ-compact operators

Using the duality theory of sequence spaces, we study in this paper λ-compact operators defined on Banach spaces, corresponding to a sequence space λ. We show that these operators form a quasi-normed operator ideal under suitable restrictions on λ. We also study the relationships of these operators with λ-summing, λ-nuclear and quasi-λ-nuclear operators. The results of this paper generalize the earlier results proved by Sinha and Karn; and also Delgado, Piñeiro and Serrano.     

On λ-harmonic graphs

A λ harmonic graph G, a λ-Hgraph G for short, means that there exists a constant A such that the equality λd（ui） = ∑（vi,vj）∈E（G） d（vj） holds for all i = 1, 2,…, ｜V（G）｜, where d（vi） denotes the degree of vertex vi. In this paper, some harmonic properties of the complement and line graph are given, and some algebraic properties for the λ-Hgraphs are obtained.     

On λ-Fold Equipartite Oberwolfach Problem with Uniform Table Sizes

We consider the following generalization of the Oberwolfach problem:”At a gathering there are n delegations each having m people. Is it possible to arrange a seating of mn people present at s round tables T ₁, T ₂, . . . , T _s (where each T _i can accommodate \( t_i\geq3 \) people and \( \sum t_i = mn \)) for k different meals so that each person has every other person not in the same delegation for a neighbor exactly λ times?” For λ= 1, Liu has obtained the complete solution to the problem when all tables accommodate the same number t of people. In this paper, we give the completesolution to the problem for \( \lambda\geq2 \) when all tables have uniform sizes t.     

On solutions of “equations in symmetric groups”

Let x?S_n, the symmetric group on n symbols. Let θ? Aut(S_n) and let the automorphim order of x with respect to θ be defined by

$\text{γθ(x)=}\text{min}\text{{k:x xθ xθ}{}^2\text{? xθ}{}^{\mathrm{k?1}}\text{=1}}$

where xθ is the image of x under θ. Let α_g? Aut(S_n) denote conjugation by the element g?S_n. Let where s and k are positive integers and $\text{a}\text{b}$ denotes a divides b. Further h(s, k : n) ≡ b(1; s, k : n), where 1 denotes the identity automorphim. If g?S_n let c = f(g, s) denote the number of symbols in g which are in cycles of length not dividing the integer s, and let g_s denote the product of all cycles in g whose lengths do not divide s. Then g_s moves c symbols. The main results proved are: (1) recursion: if n ? c + 1 and t = n ? c ? 1 then $\text{b(g; s, 1:n)=∑}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>i</mtext><mtext>s</mtext>}}\text{b(g; s, 1:n?1)(}{}^{\mathrm{t}}{}_{\mathrm{i?1}}\text{(i?1)!}$ (2) reduction: b(g; s, 1 : c)h(s, 1 : i) = b(g; s, 1 : i + c); (3) distribution: let D(θ, n) ≡ {(k, b) : k?Z⁺ and b = b(θ; 1, k : n) ≠ 0}; then D(θ, m) = D(φ, m) ∨ m ? N = N(θ, φ) iff θ is conjugate to φ; (4) evaluation: the number of cycles in g_s^s of any given length is smaller than the smallest prime dividing s iff b(g_s; s, 1 : c) = 1. If g = (12 … p^m)^t and $\text{sk}\text{p}{}^{\mathrm{m}}$ then $\text{b(g;s,k:p}{}^{\mathrm{m}}\text{) {}{}^0{}_{\mathrm{\pm 1}}\text{(}\text{mod}\text{p)}$.

On totally periodic ω-limit sets in regular continua

Let f be a continuous self-mapping of a compact metric space X, an ω-limit set of f is said to be totally periodic if it is composed of periodic points. We prove that a totally periodic ω-limit set of one-to-one continuous self mapping of regular continuum is finite. In the other hand, we built a continuous self-mapping (not one-to-one) of a dendrite having a totally periodic ω-limit set with unbounded periods.     

On*-operfect sets and α-*-closed sets

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce *-operfect, τ*-clopen, α-*-closed, strongly α-*-closed and pre-*-closed sets. We compare them and obtain a diagram to show their relationships among these sets and related sets.
